D&I programme: perception questionnaire and training courses

90 employees (working language: English)

• Diversity and inclusion are major issues for our client, which, like other investment funds, is struggling to diversify and feminise its workforce.
• A qualitative analysis (interviews with around thirty people) was carried out internally and revealed a heterogeneous perception of diversity, particularly in terms of gender, and partly linked to cultural differences.
• Willingness to raise awareness and involve employees in diversity & inclusion training.

• Gather employees' perceptions of diversity and inclusion to fuel discussions during training sessions and, in the longer term, to guide our customer in drawing up its D&I action plan.

• Cascade training: first train the managers who drive the company's commitment, then all employees so that everyone shares a common base of knowledge
